Fired Nuggets Coach Has Landed a New Gig

The Denver Nuggets dismissed head coach Michael Malone shortly before the final three games of the 2024 regular season.
In the last week of the regular season, the organization made the unexpected move to part company with general manager Calvin Booth.
Malone, the franchise's all-time leader in wins who guided the Nuggets to their inaugural NBA championship in 2023, will be part of ESPN's NBA Countdown broadcast team.
The Western Conference finals, starting Tuesday night, will see the Minnesota Timberwolves face off against Oklahoma City, the team that knocked out the Nuggets in a seven-game series.
David Adelman took over as Denver's coach to finish the season, while Malone will work on-site with hosts including Malika Andrews and Stephen A. Smith.
